Production Info
Submitted by ATOO on 22 March 2020
GBK-test uses a real time Karplus-Strong algorithm that I learned about in high school to make the distorted guitar sounds:
- A starting waveform is constructed by copying a portion of ROM.
- An NMI is used to play samples at ca 8 Khz (as far as I can remember)
- A sample is picked, gets added to the previously used sample and LSR'ed. Then this new sample replaces itself. This morphs the waveform to sound like a string getting plucked.
- The sample then gets LSR'ed 2 times (as far as I remember) and then the low nybble is sent to the main volume register. Since I only LSR 2 times (as opposed to 4) there will now be digital distortion of the sound played.
- The pitch of the sound is adjusted through the length of the waveform. This method limits the frequency precision when you play higher notes. That's the reason that some notes are slightly out of tune. Sorry about that...

About this site:
CSDb (Commodore 64 Scene Database) is a website which goal is to gather as much information and material about the scene around the commodore 64 computer - the worlds most popular home computer throughout time. Here you can find almost anything which was ever made for the commodore 64, and more is being added every day. As this website is scene related, you can mostly find demos, music and graphics made by the people who made the scene (the sceners), but you can also find a lot of the old classic games here. Try out the search box in the top right corner, or check out the CSDb main page for the latest additions.
